Are you some sort of idiot?
The toilet paper should hang OVER the roll, in FRONT, NOT IN BACK.

What the fuck is WRONG with you?

This is not a matter of preference; this is just the way it MUST be.

Stupid.

2. Over, always. Never under.
The only drawback to the over method is that it's easier for bored cats to unroll the whole thing.

4. My name's on my mortgage, not yours bud.
I'll hang it any damn way I please! Hell I might not hang it at all. Maybe I like leaving the empty roll on the spindle while the new one stays on top of the tank. You ever think of that? Huh?

5. In some cultures you never shake hands with the left hand.
Guess why?

8. Yo.
It is also deemed to be an insult. Boy Scouts do shake hands with the left hand but it is not advisable in these cultures.

A: We don't know. It's never happened.

13. Always from the back.
It just looks better.

Also paper towels hung under the counter, always from the back. Gives more counter space.

I just find it easier to use this way.

19. Um...
How in the bloody hell does hanging paper towels over or under affect your counter space? That makes no sense.

14. When I worked as a Janitor
Installing the TP with it rolling from the back was considered "the standard." People use less when it is hung that way.

17. before - so your eyes can adjust to outside conditions
If you're going from a bright room to a dark room, your eyes take a long time adjust. You never know who or what might be lurking in the hall.

24. You are so right!
When my republican mother-in-law (who comes to our house once a week to babysit our kid) changes the roll, I am convinced it is only her politically motivated aggression toward me that compels her to hang it the WRONG WAY.

:nuke:

25. I am an Idiot...
That much is certain.
However, I don't know what kind of Idiot I am.
I know this because my father kept asking me that question for years.
Precisely, What the Hell kind of Idiot are you???"

I never knew the answer.

How many kinds of Idiots are there?
Maybe a multiple choice would be helpful.

29. Bah!
I hang it the other way and I will continue to do so! I'm subversive! And I buy the cheapest! I will not pay more money than needed for something I am going to coat with poop and flush down the toilet!

30. I must be
I hang it from the back - mostly to avoid runaway rollouts. Same with the paper towels. I try to tear one off, and the roll spins out about 30 feet of towels. That's why I always hang them from the back.
